Mighty Wings 0 Report post Posted February 25, 2007 (edited) Coburn has gone in the wrong direction, as he has been in and outta the thrashers lineup in his first 2 years. Edited February 25, 2007 by Mighty Wings Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lou_Siffer 1 Report post Posted February 25, 2007 Another great trade for the Flyers Coburn has gone in the wrong direction, as he has been in and outta the thrashers lineup in his first 2 years. The guy will be only turning 22 though, you dont give up on a guy with that size already for Zhitnik. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Can't argue with that. Basically it was Freddy Meyer and a 3rd for Coburn. Edited February 25, 2007 by Mighty Wings Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Lou_Siffer 1 Report post Posted February 25, 2007 You know, with the return the Flyers have been getting...they should just saw screw it and trade Simon Gagne. Get 2 more prospects and another 1st rounder! Its not like they couldnt just try to re-sign him or Forsberg in the offseason. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

MacK_Attack 108 Report post Posted February 25, 2007 Burke set the bar by getting a first rounder for O'Brien. The price wasn't going to go down for Zhitnik. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
